As
many of you know, my motto through this scary journey has been “Don’t
panic.” Panic is the enemy. It turns good times to bad ones, clouds your
judgment, and robs you of essential sleep. It is ruinous. If you can
keep panic at bay, you can still find your joy, even in the worst of
times.

I was reminded of this in my yoga class last week, when the
instructor said, “There is no past, not really, and no future — there
is only this moment — right now.” Okay, we all know that peaceful
moments in yoga class are really good times to have clarifying thoughts.
And I was struck, again, by the power in remembering that life is what
is happening in this very second– as I am typing or as you are reading.
Right now.
